I I I I I I Information will also be gathered through direct mail questionnaires, advertising, and interviews and ap­ plications already on file. Senior citizens and families will receive letters outlining Housing Corporation’s assisted rental housing program and will be asked if they are interested in assisted accommodation. Residents who do not receive a questionnaire by mail may obtain copies from Louise Clipperton, clerk treasurer for the village. A typical senior citizen apartment consists of living room, bedroom, bathroom, and a kitchen equipped with a stove and refrigerator. In most communities the typical senior citizen development is a one or two- storey building. Family housing unit size varies with the community needs, but up to five bedrooms may be included. Rents are based on the gross family income, not on the number of bedrooms or type of housing provided. After the survey is com- pleted at municipality has several choices. It may develop an assisted rental housing project on its own through a municipal non­ profit housing agency; it may request the ministry of housing to undertake the developments or ask the ministry to seek private sector involvement to secure units under the rent sup­ plement program or private assisted rental program; or it may encourage the creation of a local non-profit group to develop a non-profit housing project.i da Kin RFKin wK/aINM DlINU ODD COUPLE STARS — It was packed at Huron Country Playhouse Tuesday evening that saw the opening performance of the Playhouse's seventh season.

AND DISTRICT NEWS Say letter and bad press damaging to resort image A letter to Grand Bend Council complaining about the buffaloburger fest, and the subsequent bad press did more harm to the village’s image than anything in the last ten years, says the Grand Bend and Area Chamber of Commerce. , Nick Carter, president of the Chamber, sent a point by point rebuttal to council of an earlier letter by Doug Kincaid. Kincaid, in his letter, said there was problems of over­ crowding, poor service, and too many people standing and drinking in the beer tent at the buffaloburger fest. “The Chamber of Commerce has spent thousands of dollars in an ef­ fort to promote tourism and improve the image of Grand Bend. One mis-directed citizen and a press bent on sensationalism has destroyed this in one day,’’ Carter’s letter said. Carter said there was on major fight and a few minor scuffles which were quickly ended. ‘ The whole unfortunate scene was not witnessed by more than a few dozen peo­ ple in the tent as the alterca­ tion happened at the north end by the cook tent. Hun­ dreds of people in the main tent were never aware any such incident took place. The whole thing was brought under control within a few minutes by our security peo­ ple. Out of twenty-four hours i. of operation, I do not feel J that one five minute distur- j bance warrants Mr. Kin- r PRESCRIPTION k HARWOOD DRUGS wo. A V W.

R.R. 1, GRAND BEND caid’s accusation of an ‘at­ mosphere of pandemonium’ wrote Carter. z Carter said improvements had been made to the opera­ tion of the burgerfest this year including as many as 18 security people plus five un­ iformed Barnes security guards on duty each even­ ing; a double fence around the area to prevent gate crashers and people handing beer over the fence; im­ proved floodlighting; dou­ ble the sanitary facilities with 16 portable toilets; and frequent head counts to restrict the crowd to the 500 licenced capacity. Carter also said a patio area was added outside the licenced area for children and others not wishing a beer. “We as the Chamber of Commerce, realize that any undertaking of this magnitude has room for con­ stant refinement and im­ provement. and we can only do so with the full coopera­ tion of the village council and the citizens of Grand Bend. If all suggestions are channeled through the Chamber of Commerce, I am sure we can run a festival of which everyone can be proud. “Unfortunately we have been set back many years and the battle is once again uphill.” The Chamber's letter criticized the Lambton County Gazette for carrying a story headlined “Brawls Mar Weekend Festivities”. “That was the crummiest thing I have ever read in my life. It was the most dis­ torted report I have ever seen,’’ said Councillor Harold Green, referring to the story in the Gazette.
